I am curious how snapshots and clones will be integrated with grub. Will it be posible to boot from a snapshot? I think this would be useful when applying patches, since you could snapshot / ,/var and /opt, patch the system, and revert back (by choosing a snapshot from the grub menu) to the snapshot if something went awry. Is this how the zfs boot team envisions this working?
You can snapshot/clone, and revert back by choosing the clone from the grub menu to boot. Since snapshot is a read-only filesystem, directly booting from it is not supported for the initial release.
However, it is on our to-investigate list. Lin _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
